Architecture Explorer

by clovett | 3 Comments

The Architecture Explorer in Visual Studio 2010 allows you to navigate through all sorts of interesting relationships in your code.  It also allows you to create new Directed Graph Documents so you can visualize whatever relationships you explore and it provides a nifty ability to save and replay those queries using DGQL.  

I have posted a new Video (WMV or MP4) that shows how it works and below you will find a link to the DGQL queries that I used in this video.   I hope you enjoy the show.

Great videos.

Can the graph visualizer be used outside of VS 2010?

I have worked with MSAGL and NodeXL from MSR and they are useful tools for visualizing all types of info.

Thanks

No, we do not provide a standalone Graph Viewer that runs out side of Visual Studio 2010.  Note that Visual Studio 2010 also uses MSAGL for graph layout.

Architecture Explorer is a great feature. I'm curious to know whether or not similar feature exists in open source IDEs.
